It's not big. The selection isn't going to bowl you over. But this is an independent, from-the-ground-up type of place and the owner is right there for you. CM and Majestic have more labels but there are labels available at LSB that aren't in the coolers at those places. And they don't vary much from one another.

I think perhaps it comes down to service. Just try getting this type of attention down at Big Liquor. Sure, their coolers are bigger but half are just stacks and stack of boring macro here in the land of Miller Lite. And at Big Liquor the bored and underpaid cooler attendant isn't going to take your name and number and see if he can get it for you. Rick does because, like us, he loves beer.

Today was my first visit but I'll be back. Seems like he has a base stock for the folks he knows will be coming in and the rest of it rotates as he can get it. Seems like next time I'm there I'll find beers I didn't see this time. Seems like the people in this store really want to be there and like what they're doing. That counts for a lot these days.

With support this store will grow. If not into a bigger store at least into more of them.

Really, the key here, with LSB is that if he doesn't have it he'll see what he can do about getting it and is only too happy to do so. That's really about all one can ask for, isn't it?

I visited Lone Star Beverages on the way from Dallas to Norman, OK on the recommendation from a friend and I'm so glad he steered me to them! What a great store and what great guys! Rick and Sam are obviously passionate about craft beer and they go out of there way to make sure you have a good experience. Upon entering the store, Sam and Rick asked me if there was anything in particular I was looking for and when I mentioned I was from out of town and looking for TX and OK beers that I cannot get back home, they proceeded to give me a personal tour of the store and highlighted local beers that I should try. As far as selection it seemed like they had pretty much everything you could want. Huge selection of beer in the front when you walk in and a huge walk-in beer cooler with 4 packs, 6 packs, bombers and 12oz singles that were all very well organized.

They also gave me great recommendations for places to eat and drink in the Dallas area. I ended up buying about a case and a half of beer and stopped back in on the way back to Dallas to purchase a shipper for the bottles that I did not drink over the weekend.

I've been in stores where you feel like you are bothering them for asking about certain beers etc but these guys were the complete opposite. It felt more like hanging with your craft beer friend who has been at it longer and has all the best beers and just wants to share that beer, enthusiasm, and passion with you. Cannot be said strongly enough: Great guys, great store. I will be back and I will be sending my friends as well.

Amazing selection that includes the walk-in chilled beer cave with 2 rooms stocked floor to ceiling with the best bombers, 6-packs, 4-packs, and singles available to Texas. Looking for something in particular? Ask for help from the great staff that truly know their brew. I also highly recommend that you check out both their Facebook and Instagram if you are looking for a rare release that you know is on the way.

This place is a diamond in the rough. You will not find a better place than this in the north dallas area. Sam and Rick run their store like I wish every store would. The first time I came in I really got a sense of them having an appreciation of the community as opposed to selling you their beer and then being on your way. They have a good sense of conversation and letting you know what has arrived and what beer is selling quickly so you can get your hands on some.
Weekly tastings and getting the freshest beers are what stands out to me about this place. Do yourself a favor, if you're in a reasonable radius (I live 20 miles away) make the drive, grab some beer, and chat with Sam and Rick. You'll be back
